Typical MRI findings of AP include variable degrees of glandular enlargement with mildly increased T2-weighted signal intensity corresponding to oedema, normal signal on fat-saturated T1-weighted acquisitions, peripancreatic inflammatory fat stranding, fluid or collections.
The predominant manifestations include variable degrees of upper or left-sided abdominal pain, tachycardia, and hypotension, followed at a later stage by malaise, vomiting, generalised abdominal tenderness and peritonism, and progressive haemodynamic shock [4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
Alternatively, the researcher may include variable degrees of precision in the analysis according each to record a precision or certainty corresponding to its error radius, as in recent spatial analyses of Marburg virus transmission risk (4 ) and climate change effects on plague and tularemia transmission (5 ).
Paleocene fluvial strata in this region contain several notable characteristics, including variable degrees of channel sandstone amalgamation, regionally-variable stratigraphic architecture, and a large fan-shaped sandstone unit that emanated from the adjacent fold-thrust belt.
In recent years, a variety of approaches have been developed for 'protein peptide docking', that is, predicting the structure of the protein peptide complex, starting from the protein structure and the peptide sequence, including variable degrees of information about the peptide binding site and/or conformation.
Once in the mouth, the enamel soon began to undergo posteruptive changes, including variable degrees of brown discoloration and loss of enamel tissue.
HD-OCT features of ballooning dermatitis (Fig. 8) as seen in drug-induced erythema multiforme included variable degrees of epidermal necrosis.
MRI findings include varying degrees of hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary gland with variable size and length of the infundibulum.
FSGS can occur at any age and presenting features include a variable degree of proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, hypertension and decreased glomerular filtration rate.
The morphological changes observed in OA include a variable degree of synovial inflammation, principally at the clinical stage of the disease, which in turn produces inflammatory mediators (inflammatory cytokines), which play a pivotal role in the pathophysiological mechanisms of the OA [ 1, 2].
However, there are major drawbacks to the long-term use of monoclonal antibodies, murine, chimeric or human, which include a variable degree of immunogenicity and major costs, $12 15 000 p.a. (£7 9000) (Dillman et al, 1994; LoRusso et al, 1995; Philpott et al, 1995).
